Electric over hydraulic disc on all axles. Joe Murray

t500hps

Never had Electric over Hydraulic. My Surge brakes are fine. Stainless discs and added the "bleeding solenoid" to the supply line ($50-60 bucks). Backs up with NO brake locking and has worked great so far. (We do splash in fresh water though)

Parts can ber ordered from Champion

gain adjustment.Just converted 40' Skater trailer to electic-over
hydraulic.The closest feeling to having air-hydraulic.

Kodiak Disc Brakes are the only SS/Nickel Cadmium brakes you need to look into. They are on all of the major player's aluminum boat trailers. I installed them on my first trailer, and they came standard on my current trailer. Pads are easily replaced locally at your auto parts store.

rat,
Try redneck-trailer.com. They are a wholesale trailer parts supply co. that have locations all over the States. You can get good info from their site as well. My personal recommendation would be vaccum over hydraulic with drum brakes, but if you are having to convert the whole trailer it would be REAL expensive, but REAL reliable. I just can't warm up to the disc brake in salt water combination. At least with drums you can have a set up to wash the drums out with "SaltAway", NOT that I would EVER put my trailer in saltwater, so, what do I know.

BTW, I tow about 12,000 miles a year with the afformentioned brake set-up with NO problems. But then again, I STILL believe that a triple axle trailer rides BETTER on SPRINGS than TORSION axles. Just call me old school, or an Ole Fart, don't matter, I still go down the road happier than a pig in a pile of sh!t

Same as my Eagle triple axle/382 Formula, over #14,000 with fuel and trailer. Electric over hydraulic is the best, far exceeds the surge on my old Eagle/311 Formula.

how does the vacuum over hydraulic system work? what components does this type of system require?

tonto, do you have your boat lifted off the trailer into the salt water every time you use it? thx, rm

My trailer has been going in brackish water or salt water for five years with disc brakes, sometimes I rinse the brakes off, but more often not. Still working fine.
